Surrey play Worcestershire at New Road in the last four on Saturday, with the final at Lord’s on 1 July.

Essex host Nottinghamshire in the other semi-final on Friday.

Sangakkara, who is retiring from first-class cricket at the end of this season, looked in superb touch once again, offering only one difficult chance to Alex Lees on the boundary early on in his innings.

The 39-year-old mixed deft touches to the boundary with some brutal straight hitting over the rope to bring up his 39th List A century.
